That thread is wonderful! I haven't laughed that hard on SI before, Paul definately is on top of Y2K. The baby story goes down as one of the better posts I have seen.

Here is more #subject-20812 How did all that 'stuff' get tied together..? Reading it just makes me very tired. Wonder if Phillips sold off..? There are some problems associated with this 2000 bug.... I know there is talk of people removing their life savings out of the banks before Friday Dec 31,1999....I suppose if enough did it there could be more then a slight problem....chuckle I've also read a few articles on various problems associated with y2k --Many suggest that you shouldn't be in an elevator at midnight --Or on the subway --In an airplane --Or in cruise control of your automobile --Don't be passing through an intersection at midnight...lights out --That you demand a full up-to-date brokerage accounting be mailed to you at the close on thursday Dec 30th --Double check the dates on your milk carton expiry --Tear-up your credit card invoices....they won't be able to find any balances...you will be off scott-free --National debt will be reversed and keep declining at the same rate --Have plenty of candlers on hand Anyway....some of it is serious...but I cannot seperate out what is real -- what is fixable -- what is non-sense. One article talked about forward testing of nuclear power plants....the problem caused system failures and shutdown operations. I cannot imagine these operators are not aware of this glich and are fixing the codes. I'm usually asleep at midnight on new years eve Maybe I will stay up this time. Chip
